The chillis ripen from green to red. It has tiny white flowers. In taste it's higher on the melt-your-face-scale than piri piris, but that's about as scientific I can get with that.

I adopted it and one other from a friend, he got the seeds from someone else who didn't know exactly what they were either. This is the only one who's had fruits yet (we're in Norway in November, so that's quite normal). It's only had one fruit though, so I can't quite tell how it grows it's fruits yet (this one might be abnormal or normal, who knows?).

I've been looking at this and this, in an attempt at identification, but nothing quite matches.

So I know I probably won't be able to get a good identificator as to what type it is until it starts producing more fruit (March I guess), but I'm impatient and curious.

Edit: I've been thinking it might be a type of pequin-pepper, but the plant itself doesn't seem to fit with the images I've seen of pequin-pepper plants.

I found that because the tiny + hot sounds a lot like the bird peppers at home, but ours are a lot more pointy than that. So it's definitely in the bird pepper family, and the shape looks like the Zimbabwe one.

A memories of the days when we would dare each other to eat them, then cry because our mouths were on fire and my mother would just shake her head and give us milk.

'Look, sir, I know Angua. She's not the useless type. She doesn't stand there and scream helplessly. She makes other people do that.'

The leaves do not match the Zimbabwe Bird Pepper seen here. The leaves seem to curve back behind the stem (I'm sure there's a botanical term) yet that seems uncommon. I think your best bet is to look at the leaves first, peppers second if you want to identify them.

Behold your only true messiah. An entity of which you're a part.A vast and cold indifferent being. A grey clad mass without a heart.

EDIT: this page has pictures of a Texas bird's eye with distinctly cordate leaves, as well as a Zimbabwe bird chille with leaves that are not quite cordate, but not quite so lanceolate as the ones in Thesh's picture. There seems to be some individual variability, so maybe leaf shape isn't such a great character to go by after all.

About the size of the nail on my thumb, gone from green to yellow. Looks like an ordinary bell pepper, except a lot smaller. Waiting to cut it open for a few days yet, I'll check the colour of the seeds then.

Update: that was pretty hot. And I mean that in the non-sexual way (or am I?). Seeds were normal seed-colour, not black as I was kind of in the bottom of my heart secretly hoping. It smelled very...green? And my mouth is now on fire (and so is my lips and throat). Bit stronger than the other one. Fairly confident in assuming it's some kind of habanero, maybe?

Edit: I sneezed and now the inside of my nose is on fire too. Do not recommend.
